Kateryna Lohachova

Kateryna Lohachova obtained both her Bachelor and Master degrees in Chemistry from V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University under the supervision of Prof. Oleg Kalugin. She studied the electrochemical applications of binary non-aqueous systems based on 1:1 electrolytes, ionic liquids, and molecular liquids. Her research was dedicated to exploring the features of molecular dynamics modeling as a method for predicting the behavior of ion-molecular systems, as well as the peculiarities of transport properties and ionic aggregation in such systems. During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, she worked with Prof. Alexander Kyrychenko as part of Prof. Oleg Kalugin’s team, on a project dedicated to the molecular design and computer modeling of new inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. In April 2022, Kateryna joined the CCB team as a fellow of IBC2 first and since August 2023 as a PhD student under the supervision of Dr. Ramachandra M. Bhaskara, focusing on the membrane remodeling. Her main work is related to quantification of membrane curvature induced by membrane remodelling proteins.
